Phlair, a Munich-based climate tech company, announced its new direct air capture (DAC) plant, Electra 01, located in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
As per the announcement, the plant of the climate tech company uses patented Hydrolyzer technology and will remove carbon emissions from the atmosphere at a “multi-hundred-ton scale” starting in 2025.
The company aims to enable a carbon-negative future, and Electra 01 represents a step towards achieving this goal.

The project also involves a partnership with Paebbl, which will be acting as Phlair’s storage partner. The captured CO2 will be converted into a “supplementary cementitious material (SCM)”, as per the announcement. This method ensures that the CO2 is not only stored permanently but also turned into a valuable building material.
Using the patented Hydrolyzer technology, the plant will provide carbon removal credits to the firm’s international customers, such as Frontier (representing Shopify and Stripe) and Milkywire (representing Klarna and WRLD Foundation).

The funding marks a significant advancement in the deployment and innovation of the Hydrolyzer technology.
